Hi Everyone
I was looking to have a master list like 'locations' that would show me all the
individuals I had entered who did a specific job compiled from data I had
already entered under 'occupation'. There are a number of research advantages
to such a list. Just a couple = If like me you

There is another way if you know how to use MSACCESS
Change the fdb extension to mdb
open in MSAccess
Create the following query in sql view
SELECT distinct tblER.Description FROM tblER WHERE (((tblER.IDET)=47));
Display the results and copy paste into Excel as your master Occupations List

When I open general notes to view an item (no changes) then close it Legacy
asks whether I want to abandon the changes that I have made. This doesn't
happen on marriage notes.

Legacy User Group guidelines:
There is no need to change the extension of the file to mdb. I just
right-click on the fdb file, select Open with and Microsoft Access .
Of course, before doing anything with your database outside of Legacy, make a
backup copy!

It's difficult or impossible to have one computer answer every need. I got
so tired of dealing with Windows quirks and failures that I finally went
down to the Apple store and told them to give me a computer, don't show me
the receipt, I don't care what it costs, just give me what I need. You will
Hi Paul
Hmm…I hadn’t tried to order yet, so had a go and the shipping to Australia is
over $80. I didn’t have the option to include taxes. I won’t be getting one
this way either. I don’t want it that badly. I have emailed the people at
Flip-Pal to tell them and hope they get local resellers
Maybe someone who is traveling will be able to help you out by carrying it to
you in their suitcase. Thats a crazy amount for shopping. Flat rate should be
way less than that. Do you have a friend here that could buy it and reship it
to you? I saw them at Rootstech and the box Wasnt that big.
I don't know how much shipping is but I would be happy to buy one for
you and ship it. Contact me off list if this is a option for you.

I agree with you on the impracticality of a master list of occupations. I think
nearly all the occupations I have came from US census listings, and it's not
like those enumerators had a standard list they used. The reporting method you
provided is enough for me, should I need to examine my file
Maybe a worthwhile option would be for the Occupation Description field to
display a drop down list of occupations that you have already added such that
as you started to type in the field the list reduced down. This type of
functionality is possible in MSAccess forms so should be just as easy
There are two ways you can create a report like this:
1. Click on the Reports icon, select the Books/Other tab and then the
Event report. You can create a report on one specific event type for
any or all persons.
2. Create a Name List or Search List report. Bring up the Name List
or your Search

Do you get this for everybody in your file?
I do get this problem with quite a few people, but not everybody. In most
cases, but oddly not all, it is because there is data in the General or
Research Notes that is formatted - e.g. Underlined, Bold, Italics. I believe
that this situation
Neither of the problem reports on this issue have been fixed.

You cannot get that directly from Legacy. You would have to create a
query in MS Access to count the number of children in each family. I am
no SQL expert so I will leave it to one of the experts to tell you the
query you need.

Just tracked through a few more people. Not everyone in my file shows this
problem.
I found a way to resolve it! Just add a space and save the notes. It then
opens and closes without the message.
May not work in all cases based on your comments.

I'm wondering if anyone has had any problems with their database after the
latest update? When I opened Legacy after the recent update I noticed a
problem with several locations. All of a sudden Legacy took random
locations and assigned them to hundreds of people the location didn't
belong to.

I reported a problem with the latest software update, related to web page
creation a week ago: my saved
parameters for the web page setup were not loaded automatically, and
subsequently overwritten with apparently
some default values. It's now under investigation, but your problems
A member of my local users group is asking some questions about the proper
placement of certain types of place names in Legacy. Typically, we enter the
U.S. place names in the format: City, County, State, Country which is four
positions with the country in the fourth position. If we are missing
The short answer is do whatever you want.
The long answer is that there appears to be at least 3 ways to handle this.
My way is to include everything in the location name. So I may have
something like
Plot7, Row 123, Whatever Cemetery, 123-135, whatever street, sometown,

Alan,
There is no Occupation Description field where your suggestion could
be applied. In Legacy Occupation is an event.
If you are suggesting that the Event Description field have an
autocomplete and drop down list option, that would require a database
table be linked to that field. Since
Hi Chuck
I would suggest that you make the surety level the setting in the
source, and make sure you have a source. You could use your general

Hi Alan,
I use the 'title suf', after the person's name to record the person's main
occupation in square brackets. For example, mine would be Michael Angus
Bridgeford [mech.engineer]. It may not be sortable, but it give me a very quick
and ready guide to a person's main occupation, which helps
